Tilda

This little Tilda stamp is so cute. I love these warm colours!

Wizard Birthday!

I've left the greeting off this one as I'm not sure who it is for. Lots of room left to add Happy Birthday and an age.

I've won an award!

I've been given this award from Jackie - check out her blog - it's fab!

I'd like to pass this award on to Michelle and Dawn. Check out their fantastic blogs!

Shopaholicbella

Is this shopaholicbella? I stamped the image ages ago and have forgotten which one she is!

I just love this stamp though! The papers are K&Co Wild Saffron.

Hamish says Hiya!

This is my entry to Jackies Blog Candy competition! Check out her blog!

Eloise Greengrass

This is the first time I have used this stamp. Its really easy to colour!

Happy 4th Birthday!

Sarah's been invited to a 4th birthday party for one of her nursery friends at the end of July. I'm taking the chance to be organised for once! I usually end up buying cards! I just love this little stamp from Whippersnapper - she is so cute!

Bella Thanks

Another thank you card. I'm not sure what is wrong with my camera - maybe there is too much light and the flash isn't coming on.

Anyway! Here is the next of my thank you cards. I just love this bella!

Ingredients:

K&Co Sparkly Sweet

Cosmobella

Quickutz Revolution Swirls

Bazzil Cardstock

Prima Flower

Swarovski Crystal

A very quick thank you

My first card for ages! It's simple. I felt a bit rusty making it - that and the fact that I couldnt find anything in the new room!!

I'm back!

I'm back! The move went very smoothly except my craft stash seems to have multiplied whilst it was packed away in what seemed like an endless amount of boxes! Needless to say a different room layout and a new desk is taking a bit to get used to and this is my first day of being able to sit down and even think of blogging! I still have about six boxes worth of craft stuff in the spare room but I think I can live with that! I really need to get my creative juices going again! I have some thank you cards to make so that will be a good place to start!

I'm also going to post soon about a Candy giveaway as I've missed my 10,000 visitor while I was moving! So watch this space and I will get something sorted out soon!

Here are some pics of my new craft space - it's compact and bijoux!! Will this affect my ability to shop?? Hmm, not if all my future purchases are small! Thank goodness for unmounted stamps!!

Chaos...

Well, thats it, my desk is gone - my little bit of crafty space is no more. The craft room is just a pile of boxes (lots of boxes!). I had no idea I had so much stuff! So there will be no more crafting for me until early-mid July. How will I cope!??

Lucky Me Again!

Look what I got from my secret sister! Thank you so much again!

Sister 40

Aunties Birthday

17 days to go!

Wow, the time is really flying in! With only 17 days to go I find myself in cupboards that I had forgotten I had, cleaning out boxes from the last time we moved house!
This time I am being ruthless! We have a skip outside at the moment and it's well on it's way to being half full. I will be saying goodbye to my craft desk tomorrow as it wont survive the move! - how will I survive!
This could be my last night of crafting until mid July when we get settled and I get a new desk!

Pink and Sparkly

This pic hasn't come out well but I hope the card fits the bill! Pink and sparkly birthday. The bling on the bottom are Swarovski crystals and I've added holographic PeeWee glitter to the balloons.

and yes, yet another Bella!

Birthday Bella again!

Help, I'm running out of names for my bella cards. It would be so easy to become addicted to Bella!

I just love the papers on this one - by Cloud 9 Design called Lustre Floral. The finish doesn't really come across in the photo unfortunately!

You Rock My Socks award!

Wow! I'm so pleased to have received this award from Sara
It's really cheered me up after a pretty awful week.

I would like to pass this on to all of my wonderful sisters in SBS9!

SBS9 Sketch Challenge for May!

This is the first time I've ever set a sketch challenge for anyone! I've been looking forward to doing this for months now until my turn in May... and you know what? I forgot! I don't think I can convince myself that this is May already! So to all you lovely SBS9 Sisters - a big apology from me for being late! And a BIG thank you to Suzann for reminding me! *blush*

Without further a-do, here it is...

... a pretty simple design I think! I can't wait to see what all you wonderfully creative people will come up with!

The Challenge will run for the rest of May - I hope you have fun with it. Leave me a message below with a link to your blog so I can see what you make of it!

Here's my starter for 10... I've called it "May all your wishes come true".

• Papers are from DCWV "Pocket Full of Posies"
• The stamp is Sugar Nellie "Christmas Fairy" - but I don't think she has to be for Christmas!
• The flower.. the gorgeous flower!!.. is a Flora Doodle which I received from my SBS9 Secret Sister!
• The circles were cut using nestabilities on a cuttlebug..

Have fun everyone!

Lucky Me!

Look what I received today! All my fav things from my SBS9 secret sister! To whoever my secret sister is I would like to say a HUGE thankyou!

I love Ewe

Assembly Line!

It's amazing how quickly you can make the same thing over and over! Economies of scale.

I'm change of address cards for when we move in approx 7 weeks time. Better to be well organised! I still have to add the "we've moved... " message to the front of the cards.

This is my new stamp from Whippersnapper. It's so easy to colour!! I used marvy pens and a watercolour technique for these.

Teddy Again!

This teddy die is going to get a fair bit of use! I think he is so cute!

Raspberry Champagne

This is the first time I've used these new papers from Papermania. The Raspberry Champagne set are lovely!

Cute

Penny Black Cinnamon

Penny Black "Cinnamon"

Papers are Junkitz.

Nice and bright!

Teddy Birthday

Made for a friend. The teddy is pieced together from a sizzix bigz die - paper is Bazzill so the textures are lovely!
